A modern approach to traditional Japanese floral design.
Award-winning flower designer Shinichi Nagatsuka explains how
anyone can create beautiful arrangements using his signature N
Style method. Easy to follow, it is based on accent lines rather
than the complex system of rules used for traditional Ikebana.
Accent lines are the natural shapes of the flowers
themselves--which means vertical arrangements require a different
eye than horizontal or round ones, for example. By understanding
how the shapes of flowers and plants affect your design, you'll
learn to choose just the right ones to achieve your desired look
and feel. With over 280 color photos and 42 projects, Modern
Japanese Ikebana unlocks the mysteries of the art of Ikebana. By
following the N Style method, you can bring a natural flow to your
arrangements, achieving balance and an overall harmony of design.
Cut, place and embellish. With the easy 3-step technique and design
guidelines in Easy Ikebana, making an extraordinary flower
arrangement is that simple! You don't need exotic flowers or
expensive vases to create a stunning floral arrangement. Even a
single flower from your garden or local market, combined with a
simple container that matches its size and shape, will result in a
uniquely beautiful addition to your space. Water, a pair of
scissors, and maybe a few leaves, sprigs, or wildflowers are the
only other items you'll need to complete your arrangement. With
Easy Ikebana, even the most inexperienced beginner will: Become
familiar with different types of seasonal flowers, what they
require and how to handle them Develop a sense of proportion to
create a balanced arrangement Learn how to choose and use greenery
in your arrangements, whether you're placing one flower or several
Pick up tips for making cut flowers last longer Discover ways to
make a strong statement using very few components These
arrangements show how striking understatement can be--not to
mention how affordable. The gentle lessons in this book will make
flower-arranging a relaxing and satisfying activity season after
season, and the stunning photos will inspire practitioners at all
levels with the beauty and power of simplicity--the heart of
ikebana.
This is a selection of the best plays of Chikamatsu, one of the
greatest Japanese dramatists. Master of the marionette and popular
dramas, he had, until the publication of this book, remained
unknown to western readers owing to the difficulty of translating
the work into English. The introduction provides a comprehensive
survey of the history of Japanese drama which will assist the
reader in better understanding the plays.
To date, there are many reports about the tumor progression and
local invasion of ameloblastoma as well as bone resorption induced
by the tumor cells. However, those studies have not described in
detailed the histological features of ameloblastoma in terms of
stroma and bone invasion. In this book therefore, discuss the
stromal type with their sub types. In ameloblastoma, stroma acts
not only in bone resorption but also causes suppression of new bone
formation. sFRP-2, a Wnt antagonist is the main factor for the
impaired bone formation. And activating RANKL with the help of TGF-
1 induced osteoclastogenesis. It causes bone destruction without a
proportional osteoblastic reaction, resulting in an uncoupling of
the normal bone remodeling sequence. So, the final volume of the
bone destruction was less with a large number of osteoblast.
Therapies targeting the inhibition of sFRP-2 and RANKL may
potentials be used in inhibiting ameloblastoma's growth as well as
other osteolytic disease.

Nagatsuka Takashi's novel "The Soil," published in Japan in 1910,
provides a moving and sensitive but unsentimental portrait of rural
peasant life in Japan during the Meiji era. The community described
is the author's native place, and the characters whose lives are
described in vivid detail over a period of years are drawn from
life.
